Description unless you are me
my archen child
i am animating him

I actually really love Archen, thye're my favorite fossil pokemon, to be honest. IDK, using them is just so weird and fun aND PLUS their design is really cool!

so yea, ARCHEN!

I'd really appreciate any critiques or notes on how I can improve this before i take it too far to fix!

this is so cute omf???
also the last back frame for the leg closest to us before it snaps forward seems a little too extreme compared to the other leg's o: ! i'd probably just mimic it with the other leg or make it less exaggerated so it doesnt seem too out of place? 
also a it's hard to tell with the sketches but i feel like the body should have a bit more bounce in it with the steps? it seems to be following up and down a bit closer to the leg closest to us and not with the other 

///feel free to argue with me bc i am an amateur with animation as well lmao
ALSO SORRY IF THIS MADE NO SENSE IM TERRIBLE AT CRITIQUES!!!

Oh goodness, thank you so much! ;w;

Yeah, looking at the animation loop again, I have to agree, one leg goes back farther than the other. I'll definitely have to fix that! I'll see whether making the other one go back as far or making the first one relax a bit makes it look good! Like, compare it side by side and see which is better.

And yeah, the body should be more bouncy. I plan on adjusting the animation so it's more bouncy before I take it to lining. I wanted to do some sort of bouncy walk cycle with a bipedal animal anyways, so I might as well do that!

Also, thanks a lot for helping me out, man! :"D It's okay that you're an amateur, cause I kind of am too. Eheheh, I'm not very advanced compared with other animators who have 6 years experience under their belt. I kinda was stuck in a laziness=GREAT phase for a while and it's only been recently I've been forcing myself to improve drastically.
also your critique made tons of sense man, you did a great job! c;
